Kathy “Relapsed Catholic” Shaidle and I (you could call me the “Relaxed Catholic”) saw the same Toronto Star article, but responded quite differently. The article was about the differences between Canadians and Americans, and here are the points she mentioned in her blog entry: Some 28 per cent of Americans, versus 19 per cent of […]
Ah, MacGyver. The thinking man’s hero, solving problems with his flair for cobbling together hastily improvised feats of engineering. Give the man a ten-speed bicycle, two bottles of Polish vodka, a tube of toothpast and an eggbeater, and he’ll whip up a particle accelerator.

What it lacks in journalistic standards — consider their current contest: whoever guesses the date closest to the American invasion of Iraq […]
From the Simpsons episode Lisa the Vegetarian: Principal Skinner: Uh oh. Two independent thought alarms in one day. The students are overstimulated. Willie! Remove all the coloured chalk from the classrooms. Groundskeeper Willie: I warned ya! Didn’t I warn ya?! That coloured chalk was forged by Lucifer himself! When I first started at Queen’s University […]
